Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2015184343A1] This invention relates to the manufacturing of durable thermoset in-mold finishing films (TIMFFs) combining in-mold decorating and in-mold durable exterior grade coating capabilities, to molded articles having TIMFFs adhering to their surfaces and both showing a decoration and providing protection, and to thermosetting resin formulations used in the manufacturing of TIMFFs. In some embodiments, the thermoset is prepared via polyurethane chemistry; the manufacturing process comprises reaction injection molding (RIM) with a specially designed mold; and articles having TIMFFs adhering to their surfaces include graphic panels for durable signage, structural graphics, molded flooring, prefabricated housing, aerospace structures and body panels, automotive structures and body panels, and marine structures and body panels. In addition to RIM, the TIMFF technology is also compatible with other processes, such as injection molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding, spin casting, rotational molding, thermoforming, roll lamination, use of a platen / laminate press, and blow molding.
